How bizarre.
Don't believe the Daily Mail headline btw, they always seem to quote the brand new price of any car in a story,there is no information given as to the age of the car in question and this model has been on sale for 10 years!
If parking a £30k car in a Tesco carpark is 'flaunting' then I guess parking a VW Golf diesel in a Tesco carpark is also 'flaunting'?
It's not even £100k when new unless you load up on options.
This also makes little difference. It's an Aston, surely if it cost £100k when new, and is 10 years old now, it will still cost the same amount to maintain as it did when it was new assuming he gets it serviced and worked on at a main dealer. Parts and labour don't exactly depreciate the same way![]()
Whilst I understand what you are saying. The headline is wrong though.
Also someone that has bought a brand new Aston and maintains it is likely to be wealthier than someone who has a 10 year old one and maintains it.
He should be forced to sell his assets to pay for the repair.
I agree with you on the headline remark, but I think the last part is a bit of a foolish thing to say. Not just because it's an Aston, but any car in general.
Do you actually own a car you cherish and put a lot of time into maintaining beyond just "It will pass MOT" condition?
So what you're saying is that anyone who has an older model of an expensive marque like an Aston must not be wealthy simply because they prefer to have an older Aston as opposed to the latest and greatest model? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds?![]()
Say what you want, but most of the time someone driving a brand new V8 Vantage will be wealthier than someone driving a 10 year old one.

What does "most" mean to you? Doesn't mean "all" in my dictionary.
Hmm perhaps I misunderstood the context, it sounded like you were saying that you have to have the latest model to be rich.
